When Is A Potato Not A Potato

Regular visitors will know that this blog has a tendency to veer away from domestic staff issues per se and focus, instead, on culinary issues and the occassional vino diversion.

This post is no exception. We were recently contacted by those admirable folks at the Bowmore Malt Whisky Distillery on the Isle Of Islay off the Scottish Coast and asked to check out their ‘The Bowmore Way’ videos.



Their clever idea was to have a selection of videos featuring the ‘right’ way of doing a task of any kind; from choosing an engagement ring to shining a shoe. Obviously this admirable idea is totally in tune with the Butler Bureau ethic and we’ve already featured a couple on the main site, with more to follow:

1) ‘Bulling’ a shoe shine
2) How to select a cigar
3) How to avoid garlic breath

Here’s one we also like but have yet to publish on the main site. It’s about how to make a potato look like a mushroom. A bit of fun to garnish your next gourmet offering perhaps?

We’re looking forward to adding some more Bowmore Way videos here soon.
